Maker Faire New York 2010

Uokahd (Tapelake)

Uokahd (tapelake) is an interactive audio installation that addresses the act of composition and exhibition of musical ideas. The “tapelake” or surface of the sculpture is comprised of 64sq feet of audiocassette tape, whose pre-recorded signals are picked up by a Walkman tape-head mounted to the underside of the rock, which is then sent wirelessly to the amplifier. The linear guitar based tape recordings are now re-imagined in this three-dimensional, indeterminate sound sculpture that frees me from the ideas of traditional musical expression while allowing the some times alienating theories of experimental/indeterminate music to exist in a democratic manner, shifting the role of performer on to the audience.
